The Postponement.

The action of the Senate yesterday in
postponing until Tuesday next the con-
sideration of the proposed answer to the
cablegram from the London Council Of
Foreign Bondholders will naturally
send the interested public back to that
cablegram to study its meaning. We
therefore reproduce it. 1t follows;
Goc,rnor Lee, Richmond, Va:
The committee win appoint commission to
80 10 virginia TO confer with representatives OF
ceiving your assurance that the basis OF any
agreement which may DO arrived at snall Do
available revenue az mutually agreed. niter
competent and independent Investigation.
the legislature will empower the government
10 consent 20 this basis OF compromise shall
10 glad OF your inumation accorsingly by CO.
BILE. BoUyERiB, Chairman.
That this "is not as explicit as it
might be, we said on Friday last, yet
we are hopeful that it may lead TO a
proposition more defnitive, one so
clearly outlined in its chief features
that il can be used as starting-point OF
fruitful negotiations.
We regret that any time should have
to he lost, but remembering our own
words of day or two ago, we are not
ready to complain of caution. The
Senate has illustrated the truths that so
long as there are radical differences of
opinion, self-respecting men are not
going to take action which cannot be
taken until these differences have been
reconciled or explained away and that
so long as there are shrewd, penetrating
minds bordering the problems which
are to be solved, and there are thought
full men determined not to act at all I'M
less they can act understandingly, it
is useless to attempt to force action on
any important subject.
The requirement of the cablegram
that the basis of any agreement shall
he available revenue" is the Stun
bling-block and these are the very
words which rendered the cablegram
ambiguous to us when we first saw it.
But it is not certain that the words were
intended to be a mere repetition of the
town-meeting resolution of last Septem-
Der. The bsndholders would hardly
have submitted the rejected PROPOSE
ton as a new one, and then offered to
send q committee at their own expense
to confer with the State authorities
about it. 1t is not merely available
revenue" but available revenue as
mutually agreed after investigation by
both parties. This is to be the basis or
starting-point of the new agreement if
the bondholders mean what their Ian
gusge ought to and does purport.
Upon this basis or foundation may be
erected the RDDLEBERGER settlement.
Who knows?

GOVERNOR BEAVERS WOUND AT rHR
MANIFESTATIONS FIGHT.
Painful Accident Purysar Not Allowed to
See visitors-Attsmptsd sslfDsstruc.
tion-Proposed Memorial Church.

correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG, Va, March 26, 1887.
Governor James A. Beaver, OF Penn
sylyania. accompanied by Lieutenant
Governor Davies and O number of the
Senators and Representatives of the
LEGISLATURE of that State, spent an hour
in orr city to-day and received many
courtesies from our citizens, who called
upon and were introduced to the dis
tinpuished visitors at the depot. The
only regret was that their stay'here was
20 short. Governor Beaver, while an
officer in the Federal army, lost his
right leg in the memorable battle of
r. ams's Station, a few miles from this
city.
James Davis, negro of North Caro-
lima, attempted to board the train for
Weldon this morning while the cars
were in motion, fell upon the track and
had his left leg cut off just above the
ankle. Having nowhere to go here, he
was taken to the Jail for treatment and
accommodations.
No one outside of his cousel and his
immediate relatives is allowed to see
Puryear, the wife-murderer, and this
prohibition, it is understood, will be
continued for some time to come. Not
withstanding the action OF the courts
and his failure to obtain new trial,
he still proclaims his innocence, and
adheres to the declaration made in his
defence, that his wife committed sui
eide. For some months past Puryears
reading has been confined almost ex-
clusively to religious books and tracts.
He is between twenty-five and thirty
years of age.
II is reported that m old and we'll
known citizen Of Prince George, while
laboring under alteration Of mind, re-
Gently attempted to kill himself with
an axe. He succeeded in inflicting Sc
rious injuries upon himself, and his
conduct has necessitated strict watch
upon him. He seems indisposed, how
ever, to injurc any one but himself
1t is rumored that a wealthy and
philanthropic lady Of this city pro-
poses to erect a neat and handsome
memorial Episcopal church in Bland
ford for the convenience and accom-
mediation of the people in that portion
of the city, and that the church will
be placed in charge of minister espe-
cially called for the work.
1t is said that the University Schoel
Club, recently organized in this city,
has purchased the boat-house and out
fit Of the Cockade Boat Club. 1t is
furthermore expected that the new
club will prepare crew to take part in

Several new candidates have recently
announced themselves for Office in
Prince George county on the Repub-
lican ticket. The nominations will
doubtless have to be made by a party
convention, and probably such will be
the case in nearly all Of the Southside
counties.

with which he has been Frustrated for

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-03-27

The Republicans of the House of
Delegates who voted in favor of pro-
viding for commission to meet the
agents of the foreign bondholders to be
sent over to this country numbered
only three, We believe, whilst the Re-
publicans who voted against the same
numbered six. This fact might seem
to indicate that the Republicans will
not be able TO make party question
OF the proposition. On the other hand
the fact that only nine Republicans in
all voted on the question was rather an
indication that the Republicans had
not yet made up their minds as to what
their policy would bc-did not knew
whether they could afford to antagonize
the Democrats on this question or not
The Democrats need not trouble
themselves to learn what are General
MAHoNE's intentions in this behalf As
we said some time ago, they eau always
hear more than the truth if they I'M
dertake to ascertain what the Gen
eral will do in any given emergency.
We repeat, too, MARX TwAIN's re-
mark that it is "better not TO know so
much than to know so much that
isn't So" The Democrats need no such
light as MAHoNE's lamp affords to ena-
BILE them to see the path of duty. If
they take counsel of their fears or of
their other enemies, they will never
agree upon anything that will commend
itself to the appreciation OF the voters
of Virginia.
